I really like the halo, the leds are okay, but the halo glow appearance sets it off.

Try white, and maybe spread it out the bulbs in the line, so that the bulbs don't just mesh together.

I think its the tabs used for the head light tint.

If you are standing up, not staring directly at the lights, can you see the LED's, or just the glow?

I like 'em by the way.

Kudos for being adventurous.


But that lighting has crossed into RICER territory and set up shop.

would look better if it were white with less LED instead of purple

Im thinking of getting LED driving lights shaped like a foglight and replace my stock ones.... saw it on a subaru legacy

I dunno how it looks in person.. but from this pic it looks like an ordinary strip of light... can the LEDs be made bigger while decreasing the amount of LEDs?

I voted "nay," but that doesn't mean it couldnt' grow on me. I would like it more if the lights a) were not directly visible (creating a glow) and b) fit the entire headlight assembly, not just the first few inches.

I like it!!! I wanted to do something like this but didn't want to destroy my headlights. can you post some pix of how you did it? Looks like you just came across the top of the headlight with blue leds. I wanted to place them across the top and wrap them around the sides of the headlights like the newer bmw's.

Nay on the color and actual set up.

Props for being adventurous, but I'm just not feeling it

A little too much rice for me, sorry. Like others have said, props for trying something new, but leave the LED strips with Audi/Porsche.

Looking again ... I see you've done that door edge guard thingie on the air intakes ... I think that looks better on this veh. than the LEDs ... because it looks integrated with the stock design, and looks less like a "tacked on" cosmetic addition.

(Probably repeating myself....) I think the LEDs would look better if they actually conformed to the whole shape/size of the headlight assembly, rather than stopping at the edge of the hood. Is it even possible to extend the LEDs to the side marker or something?

I think it would look better in white and if you can extend the LED's the whole size of the headlight lens. I would think blue would be illegal anyway. I'll give ya props for originality!

Not feeling it. Simple the setup is not integrate to the headlight, rather it just tape on there.
